After Long Journey, Chinese IPO Starts With Pop

LightInTheBox Holding Co., the first Chinese company to list in the U.S. this year, made a solid public-market debut, jumping 22% in its first day on the New York Stock Exchange.

The stock is being watched for signs that U.S. investors are ready to buy Chinese companies again and whether U.S. banks would be wise to bring more of them to market. Other potential listers are waiting in the wings.
